Valentine's Day…..ugh…. Valentine's Day is another one of those crappy holidays. I guess sometimes, when you have friends, family, or a valentine, it's kinda fun. Unfortunately, I don't have any of those. I did, however, get my group of friends something. I got them something before our fight for Valentine's Day, of course, but even if their mad at me I will give them their gifts. I woke up and found Mello still asleep in his bed. I wonder why he's sleeping in so late, its already 10:00am. I decided to shake him so I could give him his present. "Mello," I said, "I uh got you something for Valentine's Day. Here, it's a box of chocolate." He ignored me. "I know your upset with me but uh I'm sorry and here," I said holding the box out to him. He flipped over and looked at me.

"What kind is it?" he said smiling lazily.

"Assorted."

"Well I'll take it then. I'm sorry about over reacting about your birthday. You obviously didn't want anyone to know, and I can't help but to wonder why."

I guess I would have to tell him.

"It all started when…."

*Flashback*

The 8-year old red-head boy rushed into the kitchen. "Mommy! Daddy! Guess what day it is!" he shouted.

"Why, it's your birthday, Mail," his mother said.

"Yep!" Mail said.

"Son, we'll have to go get your birthday present but we'll be back soon, okay?" his father told him.

"Okay! I'll go watch TV. I love you."

"We love you too."

*Later that day*

Mail was watching the news. "There's just been a car wreck on Highway 32. Two people were killed and one was injured," the news anchor stated. A picture of the two people that were killed showed up on the screen.

"Mommy. Daddy," Mail whispered, teary-eyed, "I'm so sorry."

The walls that used to be the home of his parents seemed to echo around him. 'Happy Birthday, Mail' they seemed to say.

*End of Flashback*

"Then I was sent to live with my wicked aunt, on yet again my birthday, until she couldn't use me to make money anymore and shipped off here a couple of years later. But what I hate most about her is that she was the one who survived the car wreck that my parents were killed in," I said. Mello's mouth popped open. He was silent for a while.

"How did she use you to make money?" Mello finally asked.

"She used to make me hack into people's computers to steal money and stuff. She got sent to jail though."

"Well if I would have known that then I wouldn't have made a big deal out of your birthday, I'm sorry."

"It's okay."

Mello looked at me, jumped out of bed, and dashed out of the room. I wondered where he could be going in such a hurry, he still even had his pajamas on. Oh well, I've got other things to do than to worry about Mello. I hopped off of Mello's bed and returned to my own. I dug around underneath my bed for the rest of the presents for my friends. I wandered downstairs, after I got dressed, to find the rest of the people needed to give gifts to. I checked the lounge and, to my surprise, there they all sat. Mello had just finished telling them something. At the sight of me, Alex jumped up from her chair and ran toward me, with Stix following close behind. Alex smacked straight into me and squeezed me into a big bear hug.

"I'm so so so so sorry," she said, '' If you would have told us that, then we wouldn't have been mad at you."

"Well," I said, "I figured you didn't want to hear my past problems."

"No, that's what having friends is all about, Matt. You're supposed to tell them all your problems. It's part of the friendship code. Haven't you ever had a friend?" Stix asked.

"Well…no actually I've never really had a friend," I said gingerly.

"Well you're our friend now whether you like it or not. Happy Valentine's Day, from your friends," Alex said holding out a blue rose. I handed her and the rest of my friends their Valentine's Day gifts.

*Later that day (at night… oooohhh…. spooky….O.O)XP

"Delivery for Mello," said Roger's little assistant Linda. Linda was the world's biggest tattle-tale, drama queen, big mouth, and suck up. My friends and I hate her, grrrr….. she is so annoying. Mello and I were in our room when Linda came with Mello's humungous delivery. I opened the door and there she stood with two wheelbarrows full of all types of chocolate and even a stuffed rabbit that smelled like chocolate (lol i have one of those). Mello rushed to the door and brought everything in. He began to eat his chocolate while I examined the cards and tags that were put on the boxes to tell who the giver and the receiver of the gift is. I nearly laughed out loud. It was a serious LOL moment. Everything in those to wheelbarrows had been from the one and only Stix!

"Look, Matt! Look at all the stuff I got! I bet you wished you could've gotten all this stuff too," Mello gloated. I decided it was time to tell him were all this stuff came from.

"You know," I started, ''that all this stuff is from Stix." His face turned a light color of pink before he responded.

"Oh, well, I'm still gonna eat the chocolate."

With that said he looked off in the distance and dramatically bit into his , it was official, this was the best Valentine's Day I've had since my parents died.
